Following are the difference between n-type and p-type semiconductor—
n-type semiconductors
1. When pentavalent impurity atoms like As, sb etc. are added in the instrinsic semiconductor, we get n-type semiconductor.
2. The majority carriers in the n-type semi-conductor are electrons and **** carriers are holes.

p-type semiconductors
1. When trivalent impurity atoms like gallium, indium etc. are added in the intrisic semi conductor, we get p-type semiconductors.
2. The majority carriers in p-type semiconductor are holes and **** carriers are electrons.
3. mh >> ne
